Treat ABSTRACT-The isopod Aega monophthalma Johnston 1834 is reported for the first time from the tropical western Atlantic at Cay Sal Bank, Bahamas. The previously known distribution included the eastern and northern Atlantic. An adult male specimen of Aega monophthalma Johnston 1834 was obtained from a depth of 460 m at Cay Sal Bank, Bahamas, in May 1978. Prior to 1900, this species had been reported from Iceland, the Shetland Islands, Britain and Norway (Barnard, 1914). In 1901 a juvenile male specimen was discovered in deep waters off the South African coast (Barnard, 1914); subsequently, the species was reported from Denmark and Sweden (Stephensen, 1948).

Cypris settled predominantly on the carapace (67%), mostly on the gastric area (40%), on the left or right orbital areas (35%), on the head appendages, and on the pereiopods 1–3. Encrusting individuals were mostly small (84%); medium-sized specimens accounted for 11% and large for 5%. On the cephalothorax, most were observed in branchial (661) and orbital areas (240). Only 40–41 individuals were found on gastric and cardiac areas. Some individuals (246), mostly small (95%), were observed on the dorsal portion of somites.

Crustaceans Authors: Simone Nunes Brandão, Zoologisches Museum Hamburg Jen Hammock, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution Frank Ferrari, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution Photo credit: Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) by Jeremy Thorpe, Flickr: EOL Images. CC BY-NC-SA Defining the crustacean The Latin root, crustaceus, "having a crust or shell," really doesn’t entirely narrow it down to crustaceans. They belong to the phylum Arthropoda, as do insects, arachnids, and many other groups; all arthropods have hard exoskeletons or shells, segmented bodies, and jointed limbs. Crustaceans are usually distinguishable from the other arthropods in several important ways, chiefly: Biramous appendages. Most crustaceans have appendages or limbs that are split into two, usually segmented, branches. Both branches originate on the same proximal segment. Larvae. Early in development, most crustaceans go through a series of larval stages, the first being the nauplius larva, in which only a few limbs are present, near the front on the body; crustaceans add their more posterior limbs as they grow and develop further. The nauplius larva is unique to Crustacea. Eyes. The early larval stages of crustaceans have a single, simple, median eye composed of three similar, closely opposed parts. This larval eye, or “naupliar eye,” often disappears later in development, but on some crustaceans (e.g., the branchiopod Triops) it is retained even after the adult compound eyes have developed. In all copepod crustaceans, this larval eye is retained throughout their development as the 1 only eye, although the three similar parts may separate and each become associated with their own cuticular lens.

  • Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans
    Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans by Robert George Young A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert George Young, March, 2016 ABSTRACT MOLECULAR SPECIES DELIMITATION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADIAN MARINE PLANKTONIC CRUSTACEANS Robert George Young Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Dr. Sarah Adamowicz Dr. Cathryn Abbott Zooplankton are a major component of the marine environment in both diversity and biomass and are a crucial source of nutrients for organisms at higher trophic levels. Unfortunately, marine zooplankton biodiversity is not well known because of difficult morphological identifications and lack of taxonomic experts for many groups. In addition, the large taxonomic diversity present in plankton and low sampling coverage pose challenges in obtaining a better understanding of true zooplankton diversity. Molecular identification tools, like DNA barcoding, have been successfully used to identify marine planktonic specimens to a species. However, the behaviour of methods for specimen identification and species delimitation remain untested for taxonomically diverse and widely-distributed marine zooplanktonic groups. Using Canadian marine planktonic crustacean collections, I generated a multi-gene data set including COI-5P and 18S-V4 molecular markers of morphologically-identified Copepoda and Thecostraca (Multicrustacea: Hexanauplia) species. I used this data set to assess generalities in the genetic divergence patterns and to determine if a barcode gap exists separating interspecific and intraspecific molecular divergences, which can reliably delimit specimens into species. I then used this information to evaluate the North Pacific, Arctic, and North Atlantic biogeography of marine Calanoida (Hexanauplia: Copepoda) plankton.

  • Barnacle Editor Workshop
    Barnacle Editor Workshop VLIZ InnovOcean Site Wandelaarkaai 7 – entrance Pakhuis 61 (UNESCO) B-8400 Oostende, Belgium February 24-28, 2020 Final Report Barnacle Participants: Keith Crandall, Meeting Organizer, George Washington University, Washington, DC USA Jens Hoeg, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Marcos Pérez-Losada, George Washington University, Washington, DC USA Benny Chan, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan Henrick Glenner, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway Andy Gale, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, United Kingdom Niklas Dreyer, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan WoRMS Data Management Team (DMT): Stefanie Dekeyzer (Meeting Coordinator) Bart Vanhoorne Wim Decock Leen Vandepitte Target Group: The barnacles – more specifically, the broader group of Thecostraca including the traditional barnacles (Cirripedia) as well as the related groups of Facetotecta and Ascothoracida. The thecostracan barnacles rank among the most commonly encountered marine crustaceans in the world. They deviate from almost all other Crustacea in that only the larvae are free-living, while the adults are permanently sessile and morphologically highly specialized as filter feeders or parasites. In the most recent classifications of the crustacean Maxillopoda 1 and latest phylogenetic analyses 2-4 the Thecostraca sensu Grygier 5, comprising the Facetotecta, Ascothoracida, and Cirripedia, form monophyletic assemblages. Barnacle phylogenetics has advanced greatly over the last 10 years. Nonetheless, the relationships and taxonomic status of some groups within these three infraclasses are still a matter of debate. While the barnacles where the focus of Darwin’s detailed taxonomic work, there has not been a comprehensive review of the species of barnacles as a whole since Darwin. As a consequence, the barnacle entries within the WoRMS Database is woefully out of date taxonomically and missing many, many species and higher taxa.

  • Family PANDALIDAE the Genera of This Family May
    122 L. B. HOLTHUIS Family PANDALIDAE Pandalinae Dana, 1852, Proc. Acad. nat. Sci. Phila. 6: 17, 24. Pandalidae Bate, 1888, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zool. 24: xii, 480, 625. The genera of this family may be distinguished with the help of the fol- lowing key, which is largely based on the key given by De Man (1920, Siboga Exped. 39 (a3) : 101, 102); use has also been made of Kemp's (1925, Rec. Indian Mus. 27:271, 272) key to the Chlorotocus section of this family. 1. Carpus of second pereiopods consisting of more than three joints. 2 — Carpus of second pereiopods consisting of 2 or 3 joints 13 2. No longitudinal carinae on the carapace except for the postrostral crest. 3 — Carapace with longitudinal carinae on the lateral surfaces. Integument very firm. 12 3. Rostrum movably connected with the carapace Pantomus — Rostrum not movable 4 4. Eyes poorly developed, cornea narrower than the eyestalk . Dorodotes — Eyes well developed, cornea much wider than the eyestalk .... 5 5. Third maxilliped with an exopod 6 — Third maxilliped without exopod 8 6. Epipods on at least the first two pereiopods 7 — No epipods on any of the pereiopods Parapandalus 7. Posterior lobe of scaphognathite broadly rounded or truncate. Stylocerite pointed anteriorly. Rostrum with at least some fixed teeth dorsally. Plesionika — Posterior lobe of scaphognathite acutely produced. Stylocerite broad and rounded. Rostrum with only movable spines dorsally Dichelopandalus 8. Laminar expansion of the inner border of the ischium of the first pair of pereiopods very large Pandalopsis — Laminar expansion of the inner border of the ischium of the first pair of pereiopods wanting or inconspicuous 9 9.
